Evan and Zope Dev - I'm using the virtual host monster with apache proxy/rewrite mechanism. I faced a little bit of trouble dealing with zope's setServerURL method. I'm using a configuration such as this on the apache side: RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ \ http://localhost:1080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{HTTP_HOST}/vtfs/%{SERVER_NAME}/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [P,L] * HTTP_HOST varies depending on how the client reaches the apache server. * SERVER_NAME (or really the name of the virtual host) is a constant defined in the apache virtual host. The correct virtual URL is not setup properly because the setServerURL method is always picking up the port #1080 (via oldhost,oldport) from the mod_proxy/mod_rewrite request environment even if HTTP_HOST does not contain a port number. I patched this issue by simply commenting out the lines below. I would like to keep using the HTTP_HOST variable mechanism, because the absolute_url() generated doesn't directly depend on the proper dns settings of the web client. For example, this allows apache to serve the content properly even if ssh is being used to forward http/https connections. Any recommendations?? - joe n. def setServerURL(self, protocol=None, hostname=None, port=None): """ Set the parts of generated URLs.
